a big moment unfolding this hour. donald trump's legal team in front of the judge presiding over the 2020 election case for the first time. what's she's going to say about how much evidence will be talked about in public. and will she give any indication on when this trial is going to kick off. maui being described as an apocalyptic devastation from the wildfire. some residents say they had no warning that it was time to get out. >> i sat up on top of the roof, and i battled the fire for about three hours. i couldn't do it anymore. and then i said, i have to move. and then i ran to the ocean. i gave in. >> so you literally saved yourself by jumping into the ocean? >> yes. >> when you turned around and looked back, what'd you see? >> devastation, everything gone. ♪ ♪ moments ago, former president donald trump's lawyers arrived to federal court in washington. it's a big day for them and for the special counsel as this is the first hearing in the 2020 election subversion case against trump, and the first time that we will hear from the u.s. district judge tanya chutkan, she is the judge presiding over the whole thing. overnight, prosecutors filed a motion asking for the trial here to begin january 2nd. they argue a speedy trial is in the public's best interest. donald trump, not surprisingly, lashing out about that on social media with his attorneys also pushing for any trial to be held after the 2024 election. cnn's katelyn polantz is outside the court for us in washington. she joins us now. so this is all getting underway as we speak, katelyn. what could happen today? >> reporter: well, kate, there has been the latest discussion about trial dates, but that is not exactly what the judge is going to be determining today. it's going to be something looming over this case throughout, though. because what is on the table today is how fast and how the justice department can hand over records to donald trump and his team, evidence in this case that they'll need to look at that they've never seen before and review as they head toward trial and prepare for that trial date. so, that evidence discussion, how much donald trump can share of it publicly, that is really going to be the legal issue that the judge is going to be looking at today. we're going to be watching for a lot of things. does she put a lockdown on donald trump so that he can't discuss publicly or discuss with anyone else at all, not even just on social media or in his campaign speeches, the information he's learning about where this investigation has gone so far. the justice department wants that full nondisclosure to be put over all of the evidence that he would be seeing for the first time and learning about in the course of this case. he wants a much smaller segment to be locked down, something that would be called sensitive materials. so we're watching for how the judge responds to that. and we're also watching for her tone. judge tanya chutkan, she is a tough judge. she is also very metered judge in that she holds hearings that really do dig into the legal issues. she seems to move quite quickly and also be very prepared whenever she gets on the bench. so we're watching to see how much she's taking into consideration some other things that trump and his lawyers and the justice department have said so far to her, specifically about social media posts that the former president has made talking about the special counsel's investigation, wanting to come after people. generally, if she responds to that today, that is something really to watch here. and then, of course, all of this will matter in the course of a trial date because the sooner that the justice department gets an order that they're asking for today and that they're fighting with trump's team over, the sooner that order gets in place, the quicker trump's team can start reviewing evidence, meaning the quicker that path begins for the real preparations to get to a trial. kate? >> it's great you're there, katelyn. we're going to stick close to you, let us know as soon as you hear what's happening in court. thank you so much. former trump white house lawyer james schultz is with us. jim, great to have you here. today's hearing is procedural and a little bit in the weeds. but big picture, this is the first time we're going to hear from judge chutkan. and big picture, what signs are you looking for from her? >> so, look, she's a former defender, public defender. so i think she's going to have a keen understanding and a sensitivity to the rights of a defendant in any case she's looking at. she's also a tough sentencer. so she's historically been a very tough sentencer. and i think she's going to be a tough judge in this case. she's not going to tolerate, you know, the public display of nonsense, if you will. and i think what you're going to see in this hearing today is her be very stern, listen to both sides, but be very thoughtful in her determinations. and i think she's likely to, you know, not allow everything to go, like the trump side wants. but i also don't think -- i'm sorry -- i think she's going to allow very -- she's going to limit it to that sensitive information. she's going to limit it to the sensitive information. that will be in trump's favor. but i also think she's not going to stop everything like the prosecution wanted. i misspoke there a second ago. but i do think that she's going to be very firm with trump in this in his record of kind of going off the rails, if you will, and just doing whatever he wants. she's not going to tolerate that. >> the special counsel, jim, filed overnight to ask for the trial to begin on january 2nd. how realistic do you think that is as a trial date? >> i think that's really aggressi, t i also think this judge is going to look at the speedy trial provisions. it's the defendant's interest, but it's also the public's interesthaneeds to be balanced here. and i think that jack smith did a good job and his prosecutors did a good job of laying that out in the public interest to do this soon. the lawyers on the other side of the defense are going to argue five months to get ready for trial is just really tough. and the trial is going to land right in the middle of all these primaries. i'm not sure the judge is going to care about the primaries. i do think she is going to want to make sure that there was fairness. but i think it's realistic that a trial does happen this winter. i just don't think it's early january. >> maybe february or march might be more realistic. we just got word that the hearing before judge chutkan has begun. so, soon-ish we could get some information about what's going on inside the courtroom. so stand by for that. in the meantime, we saw something from erin blake at the "washington post" that caught our attention. he diagrammed a recent trump media appearance. and trump seems to be changing the way he is talking about january 6 or talking about the election that he clearly lost. instead of saying completely it was rigged or i definitely -- he's starting to litter the sentences with "i believe" or "in my opinion." listen to this. >> i'm telling them that, in my opinion, the election was rigged, and they're saying i did something incorrect. i didn't do anything wrong. i believe i won that election by many, many votes, hundreds of thousands of votes. that's what i think. and i expressed that on the phone call. and i said i don't know what the number was like, 11,000 or something. i said what i need is 11,000 votes. i won this thing by hundreds of thousands of votes. that's my opinion. and i think it's borne out by the facts and we'll see that. >> what i think my opinion. i believe all of a sudden all over his statements, jim, why? >> because that is -- look, in a public setting, he's trying to set the tone that at the time all of this had happened and at the time that all of the allegations -- all the alleged conduct took place, that he believed he won that election. i think he's trying to reinforce that in his public discourse. i think it's a little late for that. but, nonetheless he's trying to reinforce that because that's where they're going to be going at trial on this is that he believed at the time that the -- that he had won that election, and still believes it today. >> if he is saying it this way now, does that negate all of the other times that he said without equivocation that the election was stolen and that they had proof and said all of this without the qualifiers that we're now hearing? >> so i think the qualifiers have little to do about the affirmative way he did it. i think it's just messaging, you know, for purposes of the trial that his intent at the time, meaning going to his state of mind at the time, his state of mind that he had lost that election. the fact that he's saying it now, i mean, that's going to be one of their arguments in court. and i think the other side, the prosecution, if you will, is going to put on witness after witness after witness who were in meetings with him and told them that he had lost the election. and, remember, there's still that meeting that took place on the national security issue that we don't know much about, but the fact that he said this is going to be a problem for the next guy, and they alleged that in the indictment. and i think that's going to be key because that also goes to his state of mind as to whether he won or lost that election at that time, or they're going to make that argument. >> jim schultz, great to have you here. good eye for "the washington post" to catch that in that transcript. we just got word from the hearing before judge chutkan, she says she is prepared to rule on some of the matters before her today. so there will be news in the next few minutes. jim, thank you for being with us. we'll bring you that news as soon as it comes in. this morning the death toll from the devastating fires on maui, it has reached at least 55 people. that number is expected to rise. they've only been able to count the bodies found outside the buildings. they haven't been able to get in because it was just too hot. today, extra crews are being brought in for the mainland. they do hope to get inside the structures. families there desperate for answers about their missing loved ones. hawaii news now reporter talked to one woman who says she has not heard from her father in days. >> reporter: liza fled her lahaina home tuesday night as flames closed in. she pleaded with her dad to leave, too. but he refused. >> i wanted to force him to come with me, but he was very hard-headed and he didn't want to come. and he said he's going to stay and wait for my mom. and my mom worked all the way in -- so i would assume she would be stuck in traffic and she wouldn't make it back to the house. and no matter how hard i tried to ask him to come, he didn't want to go. >> reporter: her mom did get stuck in traffic and sought shelter. but her dad is still among the missing, desperate to get to lahaina, she walked and found her home, like most others in ruins. no sign of her dad. >> some survivors say they did not get a warning until it was too late. at 8:38 a.m., they ordered evacuations around lahaina intermediate school, which ended up not being in the area most affected by the fires. just after 10:00 a.m., the county said the fire was 100% contained. now, the next evacuation message came nearly 5 1/2 hours when some say it was too little too late. >> there wasn't really an evacuation notice for us. it was more we realized that the town and our street looked like it was going to burn. my phone got one ping as i was getting into my truck, and that was the only evacuation notice we had. that warning was completely useless. we have tsunami warnings that i think should've been utilized. i think this could have been handled so much better in so many ways. but so many of us residents felt like we had absolutely no warning. >> now, this morning cnn is on the ground in lahaina, of course, getting a closer look at the scope of the damage and what they're dealing with in this moment. cnn's bill weir walks us down historic front street. watch this. >> reporter: this is the historic banyan tree, 150-year-old majestic tree at the center of lahaina town. it looks like it may have survived. it needs water desperately to survive right now. but for the locals who are coming down and looking at the damage, this is such a sign of hope that maybe their iconic tree will have lived when so much else is gone here. but the history can never be replaced. this is the first hotel in hawaii, the pioneer hotel, pioneer theater. it's completely gone. right over here was the library. it's just now a stone shell of scorched blocks. mcfleetwood of the band fleetwood mac, his place is gutted out with flames. it's just unrecognizable. one of the most charming beloved port cities anywhere in the world is just scorched like a bomb went off. >> our thanks to bill weir for that. now, as of now, the wildfires in hawaii, they are the second deadliest in the u.s. in the last hundred years. but officials fear the current death toll of 55, that it will almost definitely rise. let's get right to cnn meteorologist to get a sense of what the situation will be like over the next 24 hours, derek, as they try to recover. are they going to face more fires? >> the search and recovery efforts there are going to be impacted by the weather going forward. but not like what they were when they were at the peak of this fire event. so the winds have certainly relaxed. there's no question about that. but there are still embers and there are still flare-ups and hot spots, at least according to the official statement from the maui county earlier -- roughly about 12 hours ago. now you can see the wind forecast that we have here picking up through the course of the weekend. it was at a northeasterly direction, and then it changes to more of an easterly wind. this is a typical tradewind setup that the hawaiian islands receive. but, remember, it was hurricane dora in combination with this high-pressure system that put the strong winds funneling across the islands. one thing interesting to note, we have the ability to detect the hot spots. during the height of the wildfire event, here's the up country, here's lahaina. look at as we fast forward to present moment, those hot spots have basically diminished across the entire island. we have an 80% containment on the lahaina fire. again, with the exception of those hot spots and flare-ups that are still ongoing for that area. in terms of rainfall, we could use it, but it's unlikely that we'll get it because of the leeward side where lahaina is located. the majority of the rainfall will be across the higher elevations and on the east-facing slopes. >> thank you for that update. kate? >> coming up for us, a military shakeup in ukraine. president zelenskyy is dismissed all officials in charge of regional military recruitment centers. why? we have the details coming in, next. plus, a key inflation gauge is offering a new look at where prices may be headed. a critical signal for the federal reserve as they consider the next possible move. and minutes from now, former vice president mike pence is going to take the stage at the iowa state fair. yesterday he was accused of treason by a trump supporter. what's going to happen today?

(announcer) change your life at golo.com. that's golo.com. just into cnn, the first hearing before the federal judge who will hear the january 6th case against donald trump, judge tanya chutkan, that hearing began really just a few minutes ago about 10, 15 minutes ago. already, we are getting very interesting tid bits from inside the courtroom about how judge chutkan will handle this case going forward, some real signs of where things are headed. so let's get right to katelyn polantz for these tid bits. the judge wasting no time here, katelyn. >> reporter: no time at all. 20 minutes into this hearing. and it already is about donald trump's speech outside of the courtroom. and i want to read a quote that the judge just spoke from the bench in considering whether she can put some sort of overlay, an order that essentially tells him he can't disclose evidence he's learning in the course of this pretrial preparation as his team is preparing. she says, mr. trump, like every american, has a first amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. in a criminal defendant's case such as this one, the defendant's free speech is subject to the rules. and judge chutkan is already indicating that she is ready to make rulings, making decisions today in court about how this case is going to go forward. and at one point, too, a justice department attorney said to her that they believe that trump wants to try this case in the media before trial, and she did indicate that she does want to address that today during this hearing. some of the other things she's saying is that she does want to make sure her rulings are taken into consideration the safety of witnesses. so, perhaps, some limitations on what trump can say about the evidence he is learning from what witnesses may have said against him or about him in grand jury proceedings, other evidence he would learn about what witness testimony has been to this point. she also has indicated that she does believe there needs to be an order like this because this is a judicial context, this is not a political context, and that you have to protect the jury pool, that jury pool should not be tainted because donald trump, as a criminal defendant here, deserves a fair trial. john? >> so we might learn as soon as today the types of things that donald trump will and will not be permitted to say in public about this case, specifically about the evidence in this case. also very interesting, katelyn, that the judge already talking about his language regarding witnesses. the one witness or potential witness that i know he's spoken about is mike pence, the former vice president of the united states, whom he is running against in the republican primary. >> right. so there was a social media post where donald trump did speak about mike pence and mike pence's actions on january 6th. and mike pence is one of those witnesses who's very likely to have to testify at a trial here because he was compelled by the justice department to talk to the grand jury about his first hand understanding, or his first-hand witnessing what happened between him and donald trump on january 6th and in the days leading up to that, clearly a crucial witness. we're also waiting to see if the judge will address other things donald trump has put on social media. he did speak very generally about, if you go after me, i'm coming after you, in all caps, social media post just the other day where his team said that was general, it wasn't about this particular case. but he has had several posts saying that jack smith, the special counsel here, is deranged. he also has posted about the judge. we'll see how far she actually goes in wanting to talk about his post on social media. but we do know that just from what the context of this hearing is, the judge is going to be making sure that there are some limitations, at very least, over what can be said, what can be disclosed about what's in the evidence, the evidence that trump and his team have never seen before that the justice department's going to be giving to them. >> katelyn polantz, thank you very much for that update. we'll let you get back to the phone lines to communicate with our people who are inside the courtroom, and bring us the very latest on what's going on. thank you very much. kate? >> so this morning a key inflation report is offering another read on the state of the economy right now, and what direction it is headed. the producer price index. what is the ppi adding to the picture? >> this is not a five-alarm fire, but it's something to keep our eye on. because annual inflation rising 0.8%, that is higher than expectations. and month over month also rising 0.3% better, actually not better, worse than what people were predicting. but core inflation, and this is stripping out food and energy, rising on the month but staying steady on the annual basis. but let's look at this sort of from the big picture. when you look at where inflation was, the producer price index was last year, skyrocketing to nearly 12%. now we've dropped significantly to 0.8%. and so has cpi, that's prices for consumers. and we are trending either at or below where we were prepandemic. but for consumers, you might want to pay attention to this. because what businesses pay to suppliers gets passed down to consumers. markets also reacting to this news down on this news, because they're concerned that the fed is going to look at this and possibly raise interest rates in september. that's something that the markets don't like to see. >> and we just got in a new read on consumer sentiment, how consumers are feeling. what are you seeing? >> seeing that they're still feeling pretty good about the economy just dropping slightly from july. but look where it was in august. that's a huge jump. so, consumers still feeling really good. on this news, markets jumped. so that's why the federal reserve needs to look at all of these economic data points. take a look at the big picture and then make their key decision in september. >> thanks, vanessa. john? >> all right. dozens have already died from the wildfires across maui. the danger is not over yet. a local official joins us, ahead. >> compared to the "walking dead," it was completely apocalyptic. people were swerving around, accidents. everybody's trying to run to save their lives. and essential services ofof every kind. all running on countless invisible networks, making it a prime target for cyberattacks. but the same ai-powered security that protects all of google also defends the systems running america's infrastructure. for these services. for the 336 million of us living here. ♪ what's the subway series?

are there still fires? are you still in danger? >> so, i live up country on the mountain and i don't see the fires anymore. i could see it off my balcony, on the horizon. but those are gone. so, it's much safer. >> what do you make of the images and the stories that you're hearing coming out of lahaina? >> the saddest thing is that lahaina is shut off to most people. no one can get in unless you're authorized to get in, or providing supplies and things that the community may need. there are also people, the death toll rises daily even throughout the day. so we're at number 55. but i believe that number is going to rise. there are k-9 cadaver dogs that have come in from nevada to help us, which kind of tells you what the officials or those in charge are thinking they need to do. i think they need to go through property by property, house by house just to see who's there, and try to help and save people that we can, but also we're pretty realistic that there are sad stories ahead. >> many more sad stories, unfortunately. what does maui need right now? >> so, we are getting an outpouring of support. our mayor richard bissen has had a site visit with our governor, our senior senator, and just to tour the devastated area. and we are getting help from across the nation. as you know, president biden issued -- sent fema here to help us, which is going to be of great help. because this is going to be millions of dollars of repair that has to happen with this fire devastation. and we also have hawaii community foundation has set up an account called maui strong, and they're asking for financial donations for people who can. they are working with our county and government to basically find out where the needs are and where those dollars should be spent. so if anybody has any thoughts of helping us, that is a hawaii community foundation model strong is the name of the account that they're taking donations. people from -- we have aircrafts standing by from the big island to send over supplies to us. we also have the county of honolulu has sent firefighters. so we're getting support from really across the nation besides the president and our governor reaching out, we also have national association of counties who, as you know, the counties have experienced all kinds of devastation. and those that have are reaching out to us and sending us -- realizing -->> some people who've lost everything in maui, we're hearing from them, and they're now starting to wonder why there wasn't more of a warning or a better warning of how dangerous the situation was becoming and how quickly. i want to play something for you one resident from lahaina. >> we have tsunami warnings that i think should've been utilized. i think this could have been handled so much better in so many ways. but so many of us residents felt like we had absolutely no warning. >> that's cole millington. he says that there should have been more warning. he says he basically got no warning. he was on cnn just this morning talking about this. do you think something went wrong here? do you think people should have been able to get more of a warning? >> i think that, just as the nation is looking at us and surprised by the magnitude of the winds that came 80, 50-mile-an-hour winds, i'm not sure if our maui emergency management was even prepared for this kind of magnitude of emergency. yes, we can always do better in communication. and this will definitely -- myself as a council member, we're going to look at how can the communication be better. we could have done it better. >> councilwoman, thank you so much for coming on. a long road ahead. thank you. for more information on how you can help haii wildfire victims, you can go to cnn.com/impact. you can learn much more there. you can also text "hawaii" to 707070 to donate. john? just into cnn, we are getting new details from inside the courtroom. this is the first time that we have heard from the federal judge overseeing the january 6th case against donald trump. for the first time she has weighed in on what role the first amendment will play in her approach to this case. don't forget, this may be key to the trump defense. so we'll have much most are on that, next.

donald trump. this is both sides, their first appearance before that judge. and, frankly, she's saying a lot. in some ways, i think more than we expected in this first appearance. let's get right to katelyn polantz to get a sense of what is going on inside that courtroom, and the signs we're getting from judge chutkan. >> reporter: very much so, john. so, judge chutkan, she is essentially on a legal sense on what was supposed to be talked about today. she's giving donald trump's team what they wanted, largely, to narrow the protection over evidence that they're receiving before trial. but, john, this hearing has taken a turn where it has been about something much bigger, that justice and the administration of justice is more important than a political campaign. and that is how this judge, judge tanya chkan is going to manage thise going forward. here's what she said some direct quotes. the fact that he, donald trump is running a political campaign ministration of justice. and if thameans he can't say e wants to say in a political speech, that is how it's going to have to be. decision what effect it will have on a political campaign for either side that. comment came after trump's lawyers raised the possibility that she was giving an unfair advantage to joe biden. and she says, no, that's not what this is about, this is about an order governing discovery and how much donald trump is going to be able to talk about the evidence that he's never seen before and is going to be learning about as he progresses toward trial. then the other thing that has been discussed today are these statements that donald trump makes about witnesses. his lawyer tried to raise this idea that, oh, he's been talking about pence, is that what you mean, mike pence as a candidate opposite, trump in this republican nomination. but the judge stepped back and said, no, there are other orders in this case that say donald trump as a criminal defendant is out on bail, and as he's out on bail, he is not able to intimidate witnesses or obstruct justice, period. and, she said, her direct quote there was i will be scrutinizing them, meaning statements he makes that could be obstructive or intimidation, she will be scrutinizing them very carefully. and so, going forward, there's clearly a warning being sent to donald trump's team and the former president himself that this case is important and his political campaign, whatever he says out there publicly on social media, that is not going to dictate what happens from now until the trial. >> all right. to be clear here, judge chutkan seems to be laying down some markers for what happens going forward, as if to say donald trump as a defendant out on bail needs to be careful about what he says going forward. also laying down a marker saying that running for president is no different than any other job. it won't give any special preference in terms of the timing of the trial. running for president is no different than any job. running for president shouldn't be a reason to delay the trial at all. but, katelyn, what the judge is actually ruled on, you suggested, is giving the trump team a little bit what they want. explain that. >> reporter: yeah. so, she does, at one point, call this trump's day job, and that she's going to be making decisions otherwise. but the legal issue here that she had to determine today was whenever the justice department gives donald trump evidence that they've never seen before that's been collected in this case, things like grand jury transcripts, other information that they have from subpoenas, search warrants, all of the investigative work that they did. when that gets given to donald trump, can he disclose what he's learning? can he talk about it freely? can he talk about what witnesses said about him in the grand jury before a trial? and there's reason that the court is saying, no, you can't do that because you have to protect what the jury will learn for the first time at trial as the justice department puts on their case. but, the divide here was that the justice department wanted to lock all of that down and have trump not allowed to talk about any of it as they're handing it over. and trump's team said, well, why don't you designate what's sensitive and what's not. and the things that are very sensitive, we can abide by what you want to do here and have him not talk about that. and so the justice department today they said most of what they're going to be handing over that trump's never seen before is sensitive, but it appears the diswruj is having a little bit of a nuance here where she is going more with the proposal that trump's team had legally for what to do with his evidence, how to govern it going forward, than what the justice department wanted, which was a little bit broader. but, really, these two sides on the legal issue here today, they were not that far apart. and, really, this discussion became much more about the speech that donald trump can make and what he needs to abide by as he awaits trial. >> it's a very important distinction, we're going to have much more time to talk about this over the next hour because things have happened here on many levels where there wasn't much distance between the two sides, but a much more important side of what is to come in this case. katelyn polantz, we'll speak to

right now in iowa. mike pence and so many republican presidential candidates are flocking to the famous iowa state fair to woo voters in what can be fun, what is definitely always unscripted, and is sometimes offering up some awkward campaign moments. mike pence seeing one of those yesterday, being heckled while making his pitch to voters yesterday. but he's very clearly back at it today. cnn's kyung lah is at the fair for us with -- [ laughter ] so now we're doing pork chop on a stick. is that what you're telling me? >> reporter: okay. so, this is a politically significant and an economically significant piece of meat. this is the pork chop on a stick. first of all, i need to say thank you to charlie at the pork producers association. it's not supposed to be available until the top of the hour. but because it's for you, kate, he did indeed cook this early. he's been doing this for 17 years. and it's these one-on-one connections, this moment that we had with charlie where he said, i'm going to cook iowa's famed pork chop on a stick for you. that is politically significant for caucusgoers and for the politicians who are trying to win their vote. they need the charlies to come out in january and support them and get other people to rally for them. so these fairs are very potent. the question is, though, is, does this matter right now in the era of donald trump? because donald trump isn't going to be flipping pork chops, that we know of. he is going to walk through the fair. but he's setting his own rules. and so very much this primary, kate, has been up ended. what iowa has traditionally been as changed. but the other candidates still playing by the rules. we are going to see mike pence flipping this pork chop in just about 90 minutes at the pork producers tent, but maybe not with charlie, but he will be flipping these pork chops in just a bit. >> i am always in love with you, kyung lah, and i am loving this do, don't even, and he did it. eating on tv is a risky, risky -- >> reporter: it's very good. >> eating on television, guys, that is not jv, this is varsity right now, as we're seeing from the one and only kyung lah. and thank you to charlie as we should say. in the box next to you, i'm seeing mike pence. he's with the governor kim reynolds. and he was sitting there with a lemon shakeup. just, to your point about this whole thing, these are fun moments that are a lot of great video that we put on tv from the iowa state fair. but it is these one on one connections that really do matter in the all-important first-in-the-nation caucus state of iowa. thanks for being there, you're the best. john? >> a politically significant piece of meat. just to review what she just spoke about -- kyung is frankly eating
